UDOT seeks public input on proposed improvements to Legacy Parkway

The project's draft State Environmental Study is available for public review
and comment through Oct. 10, 2025

SALT LAKE CITY, (Sept. 22, 2025) - The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has released a draft State Environmental Study (SES) for adding a lane in each direction to Legacy Parkway between Farmington and I-215 as part of a comprehensive effort to meet travel demand through the year 2050.

The new lanes would be built between the existing northbound and southbound lanes, so the overall footprint of the road would not increase. The improvements are needed to address current and future travel demand, complement other improvements to transit and pedestrian/cycling projects and support Utah's economy.

The additional lanes could also help keep people moving during upcoming I-15 construction, potentially saving the state nearly $200 million and finishing that project roughly a year sooner.

The public is invited to attend a public meeting to learn more about the study and improvements, review the draft SES and provide feedback. The meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025, at Foxboro Elementary School in North Salt Lake. The draft SES and a prerecorded presentation covering the public meeting materials is available on the study website, publicinput.com/legacyparkwaystudy.

"While improving Legacy helps us prevent gridlock in 2050, it also makes travel safer and easier for people today," said Eric Chaston, UDOT Project Manager. "This project is part of a bigger approach that includes roads, transit,biking and walking. We look forward to hearing from the public about our plans."

A 30-day comment period began Sept. 10 and is open through Oct. 10, 2025. Formal comments on the draft SES can be submitted in the following ways:

1265 E Fort Union Blvd, Suite 200

Cottonwood Heights, UT 84047

  • In person: Via written comment forms and a court reporter at the public meeting.
